Boana cf. fasciata (Günther, 1858) View in CoL
TYPE LOCALITY. — Ecuador, Slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes.
DISTRIBUTION. — Amazonian slopes of the Andes of Ecuador and Northern Peru.
TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — Caminer & Ron (2014) redescribed Boana fasciata and demonstrated that it has a restricted distribution on the slopes of the Andes. The other populations previously referred to as B. fasciata in the Guiana Shield are more closely related to the clade formed by B. tetete ( Caminer & Ron, 2014) and B. alfaroi ( Caminer & Ron, 2014) that are also restricted to western Amazonia. Therefore, the Guiana Shield populations of this species probably belong to an undescribed species.
HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — This species was only found on the vegetation surrounding a small pond formed nearby the Alama creek.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — La Planète Revisitée Guyane 2015, MNHN-PNI, APA973-1: AF2839 (♂); AF2840 (♂); AF2841 (♂); AF2881 (T) .
